Fine to serve
Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.
Offer 2–4 tablespoons (30–60 ml or 1–2 fl oz) of plain, unsweetened almond milk yogurt as part of a meal. Pair it with iron-rich foods such as lentil puree and fiber from soft cooked veggies. Almond is a common allergen, so introduce a small amount on its own first, without mixing with other new allergens. Observe for any allergy signs.
Fine to serve
Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.
Increase to 3–6 tablespoons (45–90 ml or 1.5–3 fl oz) per meal, still using plain, unsweetened almond milk yogurt. Combine with a variety of textures and flavors by swirling in smooth fruit purees or serving alongside whole grain cereals. Always ensure the meal includes a source of iron, fat, and produce. Continue to monitor for any allergy symptoms.
Fine to serve
Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.
Serve 4–8 tablespoons (60–120 ml or 2–4 fl oz) of unsweetened almond milk yogurt. Allow the child to self-serve with a spoon to foster independence. Mix in small pieces of soft fruit or whole grain cereal for variety. Ensure yogurt is part of a well-rounded meal with protein, healthy fat, and produce. Continue to watch for new allergy signs and avoid whole nuts.

Two principles cover almost every food: cut round shapes lengthways, and soften firm ones until they squash between your fingers. How the cut changes from 6 months to 18 months and beyond.

Gagging is loud and normal. Choking is silent and an emergency. How to tell them apart, what actually causes choking, and when frequent gagging is worth raising with a professional.
